***There is no such thing as ping-pong salvation. God’s plan was not for us to spend our time on earth twisting in the wind.***

God doesn’t make plans. All has existed and all exists for Him.

It is for us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. With the constant help of the Church and the Holy Spirit. The 12 tribes of Israel rejected Christ who was here to claim them.

Jesus came and died and was resurrected for us; He left His Church for us because what God was supplying the Jews with was insufficient for them.

OK, so it that what the average life of a Catholic is like? Do you do as many works as you can, hoping that they are good enough to get you into Heaven, all the while in fear and trembling? Or, does the Church or the Spirit tell you that you are doing enough works? If so, then how do either tell you that?

Jesus came and died and was resurrected for us; He left His Church for us because what God was supplying the Jews with was insufficient for them.

So God created the Roman Catholic Church because His efforts with the Jews were coming up short? Yikes, so much for the phrase "God save the Church". It looks like God needed the Church to save Him. :) You are adding your hierarchy to the scriptures where it is totally unsupported by text.
